[QUOTE="Blackwater5, post: 2485384, member: 552414"] I went up from 50 to 55 in 2 months or so but couldn't but only got a meter a couple of weeks ago, so now I've been checking my bg after meals and all but the waking 'fasting' checks are 4 to 5 hours after a meal. My DBN said he didn't believe in 'fad diets' and he'd had 30 to 40 years experience. Don't know if the bad meds idea came from him or gp, but gp likes giving powerful meds. The meds decision was made when taking steroid tablets which always push up bg. I've only been off them for 3 days today and my bg has dropped a lot with lower spikes already. I still have dermovate cream for local use as the gliptins caused incurable blistering. I don't know why he plans to give me what is often the last drug to try when I was on steroid pills so couldn't get a reliable reading.. At gis phone consultation I'll tell him I don't want to risk it. I can eat some fats but I've had high cholesterol for years and can't take statins. I've now lost so much weight that my cholesterol is normal. I'm eating some high fat foods but not all foods. [/QUOTE]
